Policies and Procedures

·         Be on time as arriving late will shorten your session.  A 48 hr. cancellation notice is requested so that I will have time to offer your appointment to someone else. Please give me at least 24 hours notice to avoid being charged.

·         Same day cancellations and missed appointments will be charged at the normal hourly rate for the time booked. There is no charge for appointments missed due to a legitimate emergency, which does not include work emergencies, personal/family scheduling problems, or heavy traffic. Legitimate/no charge emergencies include illness, snow storms, last minute car trouble and traffic jams due to an accident. Please make sure to schedule your appointments so that it will not interfere with your work or family schedule.

·         Payment is due at the beginning or end of each session. I accept checks and cash. Bank fees will apply for any returned checks.

·         I love referrals! As a thank you, I give a 15 minute credit towards appointments when you refer a friend or family member to me, and he or she comes in for a massage or life coaching session. This credit is transferable to another person and good for as long as I am in practice.

·         Gift certificates are valid for as long as I am in practice. If a rate increase is in effect prior to the use a gift certificate, the barer will pay the difference in fee between the purchase price of the gift certificate, and the current rate. Gift certificates are always transferable to another person.

·         Each massage starts and ends with a brief  conversation to determine your needs, goals and  the effects of the treatment.

·         A health history and client information form is filled out on or before the first visit. Please be prepared to provide information related to medications, medical conditions, and injuries. Some medical conditions contraindicate certain types of massage. Written permission to consult with your doctor or health care team may be requested and a signed release from your attending physician may be required for circulatory massage.

·     Please avoid the use of pain medications and alcohol at least 6 hours prior to your visit so that I can have accurate feedback regarding comfortable pressure during your massage.

·     Clothing is optional and depends entirely on client comfort level. You will be fully draped with sheets except for areas being massaged. If preferred, underpants can be worn and are considered part of the draping in this case. Note: If clothing is preferred, shorts and a sports bra, or short sleeved or sleeveless T-shirt can be worn as an alternative.

·     Please be sure to shower if arriving from the gym and refrain from wearing cologne or perfume to a session as another client might be allergic to it.

·     Due to the possibility another client might have an allergic reaction; I will be unable to practice on anyone who is a heavy smoker.

Thank You!
